The characters in this are so vibrant and full of life. The Scottish setting is fun to read about and goes heavy on the fairy folklore and stories.
Martha is an energetic, red-headed lass. She is filled with a mix of whimsy and realism in the sense she believes in fairies and the tales as fact but also counteracts some of the sayings, like: there's no way she'd be blown away by the wind when shaking out bedsheets because she had her heavy boots on. Lol
It's a light, daily-life focused read.

On a side note I find some of the lower rated reviews on here strange, since it seems adults, who read it as children, are doing rereads and then class it negatively as juvenile, etc...but that's the point, it's a book aimed at kids! It has to be written in a way kids can read on their own and understand. 🤔😂 But in my opinion it's a great fun, light, quick read even reading it as an adult~
